Well, historically we have had trouble generating PDF (particuarly
bookmarks), and it took _days_ to generate the output, which certainly
seems strange.
In fact, this is the first verion that has bookmarks, and that is 1/2
the value of a PDF file for me, so I see this release as a great leap
forward for us. What I do not understand is why it has taken >5 years
for this to happen.
